George Cross Pin Badge

In July 2022, Her Late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II awarded the George Cross to the National Health Service (NHS) on behalf of a grateful nation. This rare and historic honour recognised the courage, compassion and dedication shown by NHS staff past and present, with particular tribute to their extraordinary service during the COVID-19 pandemic.

The award was received at Windsor Castle by NHS Chief Executive Amanda Pritchard and frontline nurse May Parsons, symbolising the collective bravery and commitment of the entire NHS workforce across the United Kingdom.

This George Cross NHS Pin Badge is a high-quality replica, created as a lasting tribute to the men and women who upheld the very highest standards of public service in one of the most challenging periods in modern history.
